I’ve always hated the phrase “Paying your dues.” It’s usually uttered by people who feel threatened by a newcomer who might one day do what they do, better. It’s a phrase mired in lack, scarcity and insecurity.
Little wonder that as a society we have truly forgotten how to mentor people, not just youth, but apprentice anyone who is curious, interested or fascinated by something. How poor is a society that must guard knowledge and enthusiasm?
It’s interesting that when we share what we know we’re not just sharing knowledge, we’re sharing our passion and compassion, our sense of purpose and abundance. Most importantly though, we're sharing our sense of connection.
